Edmund Optics Zoom Inspection Microscope Heads

For applications requiring continuous zoom capabilities, our Zoom Inspection Microscope line offers the flexibility and ranges of magnification required to handle most requirements. Two 4:1 zoom objective magnifications are available, 0.75X to 3X and 2.5X to 10X. Utilizing different eyepieces, magnifications as high as 200X and as low as 7.5X can be obtained. Video capabilities available for each option. Fiber optic ring light guides are recommended illumination for these systems. Mounting for these zoom microscopes can be done via rack and pinion positioning. Image will be inverted.

A) 0.75X to 3X Zoom Inspection Microscope

These microscopes come standard with the zoom microscope body and a 20X eyepiece yielding a visual magnification range of 15X to 60X. Both single port and dual port systems have a parfocal 60mm working distance when used with the 20X eyepieces. Magnifications can be changed by using 15X or 10X eyepieces, see table below. The systems are not parfocal when using other eyepieces, due to changes in the position of the focal plane. The dual tube system permits simultaneous visual/video viewing. Video magnification is determined by monitor and sensor size used. Values listed below are for systems using a 1/2" sensor camera and 15.1" monitor. Monocular version has a single port oriented at 45°.

B) 2.5X to 10X Zoom Inspection Microscope

This microscope is exclusively available in a trinocular configuration which includes the microscope body with a pair of matched 10X eyepieces and a C-mount adapter for the video port. The visual system magnification is 25X to 100X and can be increased to as high as 200X with the addition of 20X eyepieces. Simultaneous visual and video viewing capabilities enhance this microscope's broad application appeal. For viewing comfort, the eyepieces are set at a 45° viewing angle and eyetubes have a 53mm to 73mm interpupillary adjustment. Video magnification is determined by monitor and sensor size used (values listed are for systems using a 1/2" sensor and 15.1" monitor).
